To the left is Stephen Collins of Beantown Trolley Tours yesterday performing Shakespeare in Concord. Many of us tour guides either know him personally or have seen him on the road or have read the reviews he receives from Tripadvisor. In yesterday’s performance he did pieces from the Tempest, Hamlet, Lear, and three sonnets. His other performances include impersonations of Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. He also teaches classes on poetry and literature. Stephen worked briefly for Old Town in 2006 and has been a tour guide at Beantown Trolley Tours for 6 years. Visit his website. His phone number is 978 853 0710. Stephen describes himself in the following terms:
A Renaissance man, actor, teacher, tour guide, and ex-salesman now much more comfortable doing what he truly loves: performing.
